All in all, this is a pretty fabulous lineup. 7 out of the 10 would have been at least nominated by me, and the three that wouldn't have been (Arkin, Clooney, Ledger) are completely understandable wins for career achievement in good, if not great performances.
As for my vote, I went with Broadbent only because I knew he wouldn't get support elsewhere and it is a lovely performance in a film I think is underappreciated. His win was perhaps the most pleasant surprise of the decade for me.

One likes to think of this award going to great character actors but this is a highly unimpressive list of performances. I went with Heath Ledger, with Chris Cooper, George Clooney and Morgan Freeman the only others in contention. The rest of them -- feh!

Del Toro.

Easily the highest quality group of winners in all of the acting categories this decade. I could genuinely consider voting for most of these winners as Best of the Decade.
I ultimately went with Robbins -- something about his performance is so heartbreaking and haunting it's really stuck with me -- but on another day I might have chosen someone else.
Even the weakest winners here -- Arkin and, for me, Clooney -- are hard to root against in career terms.

I went with Freeman narrowly over Ledger.

Apart from "not Alan Arkin", I had a real tough time picking here. Finally went with Chris Cooper, perhaps because he stood out next to the last three psycho-killer winners (who were all splendid as well).

Agree!
Waltz, Bardem and Ledger the best.

I voted for Morgan Freeman. He, Del Toro and Waltz were the only ones I thought were the best of the competition in the years they won and Freeman was the only one who truly supported the leads of his film rather than starring in his own section of the film the way most of the other winners did.

I prefer the third nutjob, who wins it, for that hairstyle alone.
